Product Description

The Artec TR8801 is a purpose-built 8.8" swap kit tailored for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models. This system strengthens and stabilizes your rear axle by replacing the stock configuration with a robust ¼" steel truss and integrated bracket structure. Its peaked truss design and interlocking gussets provide exceptional rigidity without compromising link geometry or clearance.

With all necessary brackets - control arms, shocks, trac bar, sway bar, and coil mounts - pre-jigged directly in the truss, installation becomes much more straightforward. The dual trac-bar mounting points allow for both stock-height and lifted setups, making it flexible for different suspension configurations. While welding is required, this kit is ideal for those who are building a reliable, high-strength axle setup that can withstand rigorous off-road use.
